That's assuming the zombies don't just keep on piling up to form a bridge or can simply walk underwater.

I would be the guy in the incredibly fortified bunker, taking shots from a little peephole in the walls at people I still see walking. Other people would just eat away at my precious resources.

Say Harbinger, sounds more sinister and awesome.

OT: Me? I'd be the crazy guy who lives in the deep dark woods and disappears anyone who gets near my shanty.
For having the gall to suggest I do something different, I will cause it directly wherever you are.

A hermit that lives by myself and my dog and hunts the bad guys when they bother me.

I don't know what I'd be doing exactly, but I'm certainly surrounding myself with children. They're apparently immortal, so they'd make great meat shields.

Off topic a bit:

Did anyone else get the itch to play Fallout 3 again because of this thread?
Just a bit, and by a bit, I mean a lot.

[small]Fallout 3 is one of those games I go months and months without playing, and then something will set me off and then I have to play right now. Playing it regularly makes it feel like work.[/small]

I'd probably just find a nice, big nuke and set it off by kicking it a few times. Besides death-by-pancake, I think that'd be a lovely, top-tier way to die.
I don't know why, but I've read the line "Death-by-pancake" about 20 times and its only getting funnier as I read it.


On topic, I would just be one of those people whose "there". I don't do much, except survive. I'll have been around so long that scumbags just leave me the hell alone, and I'm probably slightly unstable mentally. I also would have a dog with 6-legs and 10-eyes.

Lone Wolf. Shady past. All the best weapons. A cool black trench coat. Motorcycle. No fear.

That would all be an illusion of my mind....because I would have gone insane within hours of the outbreak.

I'd be a survivalist with his own personal army and harem. Only I'd be smart about it, I'd only let in 1 man for every 5 women, and only men who are so close to eating their own arm they've got the salt out, so they'll be very grateful, everyone else is a mutant and must be shot on sight.

Unity from within comes from a threat without.

I'd be the one guy who is hiding in the remnants of his old home, wielding his rifle, and eating rats. I would also be running on a treadmill-type contraption that will cause an electric current to go to my computer, so that I have a chance of logging on to The Escapist.

To be entirely realistic I wouldn't make it. If it wasn't for some pretty severe mental problems stemming from brain damage, which seem to be getting worse, I'd probably do okay. I don't have any farming skills or anything but actually do have some rather interesting training and knowlege. Sadly though without civilization to manufacture drugs, I'm wise enough to realize my problems would be my downfall in the best of situations I suspect (who knows, I could be wrong). At the least I've been getting softer and fatter every day as well (and I've been in retirement for a while).

Strictly speaking I do not think civilization would fall apart instantly in most "apocolyptic" type situations. Humans are nothing if not social creatures and even with technology out of the equasion we have enough infrastructure where I think people would still pull together under what is left of our leadership.

Of course then again I'm assuming a pseudo-apocolypse here as opposed to something that actually kills us all outright. If say for example earth is hit by an unusually uber-solar flare that burns off the atmosphere or something like that, all life ends. It doesn't matter who you are. Our only way of surviving as a species would be if we had mastered space travel and colonized elsewhere (which is one of the reasons I'm so hot on that idea, and things leading to it).

Sitting on lawn chair on my roof wearing sandals, shades and enjoying a six-pack as I watch the bombs go off. Saving the world's for sissies.
